Nobody should have to be within earshot for help to reach them.
Cora Alert gives every lone or isolated worker a one-tap wearable panic button with room-level location — on a private network that reaches where Wi-Fi and cellular don't.

THE PRESSURE IS REAL, AND IT'S COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION

Lone-worker protection is moving from "best practice" to "requirement" fast.

  • A growing number of states and cities now require employers to provide a panic-button device to workers assigned to work alone in guest rooms or similar isolated settings — hospitality has led this wave, and the requirement keeps spreading to new jurisdictions.

  • OSHA's General Duty Clause applies to lone-worker risk the same way it applies to any recognized hazard — an employer that hasn't addressed a known, foreseeable risk to isolated staff is exposed, mandate or no mandate.

  • Property and casualty carriers increasingly ask about lone-worker protection during underwriting — a documented safety program can affect premiums; the absence of one is a flag.

  • A radio or a phone isn't a safety plan if the person who needs help can't reach for it. A slip in a mechanical room, a confrontation in a guest room, an injury in a warehouse aisle — the moments that matter most are the moments a phone is the least accessible thing in the room.

None of this asks for a badge on a shelf. It asks for a device workers will actually have on them, and a system that can find them — inside a building, in a stairwell, or in a parking structure — the moment they need it.

THE PROBLEM
You already know where the current setup breaks down.

  • A phone-based app asks for exactly what a crisis doesn't allow — unlocking a screen, opening an app, tapping through a confirmation. Every second there is a second not spent getting help.

  • Radios require someone else to be listening, on the right channel, close enough to respond. A lone worker in a mechanical room or a remote aisle often has neither.

  • Cellular coverage is weakest exactly where isolated work happens — basements, concrete stairwells, warehouse interiors, and rural field sites are the same places carrier signal drops.

  • A Wi-Fi-based system is a second point of failure, tied to a network that wasn't built to be the one system that can never go down.

  • "Building-level" isn't good enough when the building is 500,000 square feet. Knowing someone is somewhere in a distribution center doesn't get help to the right aisle.

THE SOLUTION
One tap. Room-level location. No landline, no cellular plan, no dependency on facility Wi-Fi.

 

Cora Alert runs on a private LoRaWAN network — separate from your facility's Wi-Fi, cellular, and phone infrastructure. One discreet tap on a lightweight wearable badge sends a silent or audible alert with room-level location, so responders know exactly where to go, not just which building to search.
 

The same wearable protects a hotel housekeeper alone in a guest room, a facilities tech in a boiler room, a warehouse associate in a high-rack aisle, or a night-shift property manager working solo across a multi-story building — one system, one private network, no dependency on carrier signal.






WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Every vendor says "instant alert." Almost none can say "we know exactly where."
 

  • Room-level location, not building-level. A private gateway network resolves an alert to the specific room, aisle, or zone — critical in large facilities where "somewhere on-site" doesn't get anyone there faster.

  • Built-in motion and shock sensing recognizes a fall or sudden impact even when a worker can't reach the button themselves.

  • ~1-year rechargeable battery on the wearable, with remote battery monitoring so a dying device is flagged before it fails — no dependency on a worker remembering to charge it.

  • Works everywhere the job happens — interior rooms, basements, warehouse interiors, parking structures, and outdoor grounds — because the network isn't limited by cellular carrier coverage or a building's Wi-Fi footprint.

  • Incident-only privacy. Location is reported only when an alert is active — never tracked during a normal shift, which matters both for worker trust and for how honestly you can answer a privacy question. Cora has optional always-on tracking as an option where location is always needed.

  • Your own private network, independent of facility Wi-Fi and IT. No access point outage or network refresh can ever touch it.

BUILT FOR WHERE WORK ACTUALLY HAPPENS
Coverage that matches how your workforce actually moves through a facility.

 

  • Hospitality — housekeeping and turndown staff working alone in guest rooms, the setting most current panic-button requirements were written for.

  • Warehouses & Logistics Centers — pinpointing accidents, equipment incidents, or medical events across massive, high-rack facilities where "which aisle" is the difference that matters.

  • Manufacturing & Industrial Plants — fall, shock, and accident alerting in high-noise zones where a radio call or intercom page gets lost.

  • Commercial Real Estate & Property Management — night-shift custodial, maintenance, and engineering staff working solo across multi-story buildings and parking structures.

  • Utilities & Field Facilities — lone operators in remote substations, pump houses, and treatment plants, where cellular coverage is often at its weakest.


 

A FULL FACILITY SAFETY SYSTEM, NOT JUST A BADGE

  • Alert Locator Wearables — lightweight, IP67 water/shock resistant, ~1-year rechargeable battery. One tap activates a silent or audible alert with room-level location.

  • Managed BLE Beacons — installed throughout your facility. 5+ year battery life. Remote battery monitoring flags a low device before it ever goes dark.

  • LoRaWAN Gateways — a private network, independent of your facility's Wi-Fi, cellular, and IT — built to reach interiors, basements, and outdoor grounds that defeat Wi-Fi- and cellular-based systems.

  • Alert Panel — a fixed display showing worker location and alert status in real time for security or a front desk.

  • Motion & Shock Detection — recognizes a fall or sudden impact automatically, without requiring the worker to activate the button themselves.

  • Door & Window Sensors — verify that restricted-access policy is actually holding, on the same network as worker alerting.
     

"WE ALREADY HAVE A SYSTEM FOR THIS"
Fair question. Here's the honest answer.

 

"Our staff already carry a work phone with a safety app." An app requires unlocking a screen and navigating to it — exactly the two things a crisis makes hardest. Cora Alert adds a single, physical, one-tap button that works whether or not a phone is in reach or charged.

"We use two-way radios." Radios require someone else to be listening, on the right channel, close enough to respond — and they don't provide location. Cora Alert activates a silent, located alert without depending on who else happens to be nearby.

"Our building's Wi-Fi and cell signal are solid." They probably are, in the areas designed for it. They weren't designed to reach a basement mechanical room, a warehouse interior, or a parking structure the same way they reach a front office — and they weren't built to be the one system that can never go down.


20 minutes. No sales pressure. Just answers.

We talk to safety directors, facilities leaders, and property managers every week. Most conversations come down to the same three things: does it really work in our basement and our parking structure, what does our IT team need to do, and how fast can a responder actually find someone once an alert comes in.
 

We can answer all three in 20 minutes.
